Some useful material when preparing for NAPLAN 2011
In the 2011 NAPLAN writing test, students will be asked to write in a persuasive style.
Under a persuasive style of writing, the writer must convince someone of his or her point of view or opinion.
The decision to change from narrative to persuasive was made by all Australian Education Ministers at a Ministerial Council for Education, Early Childhood Development and Youth Affairs (MCEECDYA) meeting held on April 15, 2010.
Support and sample materials demonstrating this genre are available on the NAPLAN website www.naplan.edu.au
VCAA have provided some material to use.
It is very comprehensive an includes sample prompts as well as links with VELS
There are also teaching and learning activities at each testing level Grade 3, Grade 5 Year 7 and Year 9
